About Skyla
Skyla Hammond is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Hawaii who focuses on practical, down-to-earth support. She brings five years of counseling experience and a calm, nonjudgmental approach to sessions. She helps people who are coping with anxiety, depression, bipolar mood shifts, and stress.
Skyla also works with concerns such as trauma and abuse, grief, anger, sleep difficulties, and low self-esteem. She supports people facing relationship and intimacy-related issues, career questions, and the strain of parenting.
Background and approach
Skyla uses straightforward methods in session. She draws on client-centered work to follow each person’s lead, and uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. She also includes mindfulness and solution-focused ideas to build small, manageable steps forward.
Her background includes experience supporting people with serious mental illness, which she says gave her a broad base for varied challenges. Skyla trained later in life and appreciates how life stages and transitions shape what someone needs from therapy. Skyla offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Sessions are offered in English and she accepts clients internationally. She aims to help people find realistic, everyday strategies to feel more capable and steady. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to pair people with the right schedule and session format.
Skyla works with each person to set clear goals and practical next steps.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. It helps build trust and clarifies what a client wants to change. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, and uses straightforward exercises to try new responses. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve focus.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will check in about goals, try methods that fit the persons needs, and adjust plans over time. That way the work stays practical and aligned with what the person wants from therapy.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and guided exercises, while phone calls need less bandwidth and can fit into a workday. Live chat and text help with short check-ins, written reflections, and steady coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to schedule care around daily life and keep progress moving forward.
